We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Leaf it out! Lettuce Liz Truss has written a book – and oh boy does she want us to know about it. Lots of love. We get the rundown on a 20 person ‘polycule’ in America – and all the top tips on dating multiple people at once. Plus – 1 becomes 50. It’s Posh Spice’s birthday and the papers are obsessed.
Miranda Sawyer is joined by journalist and author of the new book ‘A History Of The World In 47 Borders' Jonn Elledge and comedy writer Fergus Craig.
